Wife ended up with a huge auto deposit paycheck (like 3 or 4 times normal) once and first notified the bank and then HR to ask about it. Turns out they retro'd her pay on a pay raise because they'd missed doing her eval for over a year. Even at that, she waited until after the next pay period before she spent any of the extra she'd gotten.
This guy didn't look like a brain trust, however.

You'd have to go to more than a bit of trouble to get away with this. Maybe leak out info to someone you know so your identity gets "stolen."
